I have CC'd the i3 SIG mailinglist.

This is actually the hardest part of the whole process: selecting the "right"
applications to include, so that you can provide a polished user
experience with sensible defaults.

In case you want to take a look at the technical details, you'll find
the kickstarts for the i3 spin on pagure [1] and the instructions how to
build the isos locally on the docs page [2].

I'd also like to mention that the i3 SIG keeps getting the question "Why
not sway?" pretty frequently, thus I assume that there is definitely a
demand for a sway spin. If you can find enough interested contributors,
then it would be certainly possible to create a sway spin and build upon
the bits and pieces that the i3 SIG learned (and collaborate as much as
possible).


Cheers,

Dan
